What do you say we start with one of your picks on the Morabians, who we've talked about before on a Christmas episode, I believe.
I don't remember that.
We definitely did.

If you look back in the Middle Ages in Europe, well, there's a bunch of awful things going on.
But one of the fun things was a trend of creating nativity scenes.
They were called, I guess, creches.
And you know what a nativity scene is.
They're little dioramas of the scene of the birth of Jesus in a manger.
And the Moravians saw those and they were like, hold my molasses cookie because we're going to kick this up a notch.
And they kicked it up such a notch that the Germans created a term basically for that notch of these crutches, these Moravian crutches called a putz.
It means to put out or decorate.
